After the rebirth, I lay in the arms of His Highness and won

Chapter 155 Birthday Ceremony (3000 words)
After a busy afternoon, she caressed the wooden box proudly, boasting to herself, she is really ingenious.

"Dong'er, has the Eldest Young Master returned home?"

While tidying up her clothes, the servant girl replied, "Half a quarter of an hour ago, didn't you just ask?"

"Uh..." She leaned over the table, shaking her legs, "Why don't you go and have a look?"

"……All right."

Dong'er had no choice but to put down the half-folded clothes, went to the yard, climbed up the wooden ladder and looked around.

Fortunately, there was a wall separating them, otherwise, going back and forth would have been exhausting.

After a while, hurried footsteps came, and she straightened up expectantly.

"Miss, no!"

The servant girl wiped off the thin sweat on her forehead, panting.

Disappointed, he leaned back, watched the sunset gradually sinking into the clouds, and decisively picked up the box:
"Forget it, I'll wait next door."

This class, from sunset to late night, from the beginning of You to the end of Xu.

She was sitting in the gazebo, with her forehead propped, a pot of sour plum soup in front of her.

Xiaobai nestled in his arms, stuck out his pink tongue, and yawned big.

"Miss Si, are you hungry, why don't you come to serve some pastries first?" Mu Shan was beside him, kindly persuading.

She waved her hand: "No, just wait a little longer."

Standing up, he gently placed the little fox into the den, stretched his neck, and looked at the dark corridor.

"Ah Shan, are you sure the message has been delivered?"

"Send it as a gift, but I don't know if I have seen it or not. Usually..." Mu Shan hesitated to speak, "Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Pouted her mouth unhappily: "Tomorrow, it won't be your birthday, the meaning is different."

To a certain extent, she is a very persistent person. If the things she planned are not achieved, she will have trouble sleeping and eating.

If he dares not accept this kindness, hmph, I will mix some crotons into the lotus root starch osmanthus cake tomorrow...

"Ah, back."

The attendant has good hearing, so he was the first to hear it. After a while, a familiar figure appeared at the Crescent Gate.

She cheered and stepped forward excitedly: "Brother Mu!"

"What's the matter?" His face was calm, but he lacked the usual ease and arrogance, showing a little irritability.

Not paying much attention, she held up the gift and said crisply: "Birthday is healthy, I'm here for you."

There is no moon tonight, and the stars are extraordinarily bright.

The starlight illuminates the little girl's sweet smile, which is reflected in the dark phoenix eyes.

He was slightly taken aback, and his expression eased, but he still didn't go to pick up the box, and said lightly:

"It's only my birthday, you should go to bed early."

After all, he passed by and walked to the bed.

The little hands froze, and the almond eyes were rounded.

God, how could this sound like what he should have?

All of a sudden, I miss that wicked look a little bit.

"Don't you see what it is?"

After catching up in three steps and two steps, he simply opened the lid.

He looked down, a brush with rough workmanship, the body of the brush was polished to be smooth, and the word "Mu" was engraved, the tip of the brush was dry, and the material was very good.

In general……

"So ugly."

"You—" She wanted to snap back subconsciously, but when she caught a glimpse of the familiar mocking smile in his eyes, she forcibly held back.

Well, the birthday is the biggest, so just "indulge" him once.

"This is Xiangfei bamboo." She pursed her lips and explained in a low voice, "It's planted by the lady, so it has a different meaning."

The black pupil shrank, and he said sharply: "Did you go to Qingqiu Garden?"

The forbidden land ordered by Chu Chun solemnly, once caught, is favored like her, and it is impossible to escape the fate of being served by the family law.

The little adopted daughter is so courageous that she dares to stroke a tiger's beard.

"The courtyard wall is not high, and I am very flexible." She said with a playful smile, "Oh, I can't help it, who told you that you can't move all the gold and silver mountains, and I guess it won't catch your eyes. This is the only thing I can think of, beautiful. And practical."

He sighed silently.

Aesthetics are absolutely irrelevant, as for practicality...

Whether it can be used or not is hard to say.

She paused for a moment, and added: "Just think about it? Just pretend that... the eldest lady is with you."

Careful tone, worried about offending his sensitive mind.

Who doesn't miss real loved ones?It's just that some people hide their emotions deeply.

And if you hide it for too long, you will get sick.

After a moment of silence, he finally reached out to take it.

"Ah."

She thought that if she collected the things, she would be able to enjoy the cleanliness all by herself, but she was still not satisfied, she pushed her nose up and said:
"The birthday gift is only a small part of the surprise. After that, everything has been properly arranged. Ion Night is still more than two hours away. There is still time, let's go!"

"..."

I don't know if it's too late to knock her unconscious and throw her back to Haitang Court.

Two figures, one tall and one short, slipped out of the back door and stepped onto the vigorous horse.

The night was dark and breezy.

It made him have a strange feeling that the chief character was playful and sneaked out of the house without telling his relatives.

In fact, no one cares about discipline, let alone where he goes.

Even if it disappears one day, no one will miss it.

Only killing, only terrified and painful faces, and only constant climbing can make him feel the meaning of life.

"Brother Mu."

The delicate and soft voice mixed with the sound of the wind spread to the ears, like a stone thrown into a deep pool, causing ripples in circles.

The haze in the bottom of the eyes could not help but dissipate.

"Ok?"

She stroked the smooth mane and exclaimed: "What a beautiful horse, does it have a name?"

Last time, it was very urgent and the sky was extremely dark. I only knew that it was a tall and good horse. Looking at it now, it is very different.

"Silver Frost."

"The whole body is black, the neck and four hooves are silver-gray, the morning breeze is cool at night, and the moon is stained with silver frost..." She said with a smile, "What a good name!"

As if echoing, the steed snorted, raised its head proudly, and the wind blew under its hooves.

Two minutes later, she came to the place she designated.

The two stood in front of a shop, one was stunned and embarrassed, the other sneered with arms crossed.

"Is this what you call a proper arrangement?"

Not to mention the old signboard, visually it can accommodate no more than ten people.

The point is, the door is closed tightly, so it's a waste of time.

Originally, he had no appetite, but after this toss, he was really hungry.

She hummed softly: "It's your fault, you came back too late..."

He laughed angrily: "It's rare to treat guests, so why can't you choose a serious restaurant? Yun Jiuqing, you can pick well."

"That's different." She bit her lip, stomped her feet angrily, rushed to the shop, raised her hand and knocked lightly, "Father Xu, open the door—"

After shouting and clapping, after a long while, there was finally movement.

Half of the door panel was removed and his head was poked out. An old man in his fifties, with sleepy eyes and a bad complexion.

He watched her put her palms together, mumbled something.

At the end, the old man replied indifferently: "There are no dishes, only noodles."

"Braised dried tofu?" She discussed, "The dried tofu from Father Xu's house is the best."

"Hmm." It was a tacit consent.

"Let's add some stir-fried pork, oops, since the fire is on, why not have a plate of sweet and sour fresh fish, three delicacies tofu, and pea jelly..."

"Stop!" The old man was dumbfounded, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were flattened in shock, "You little girl, you can blackmail people one after another, treat your brother as the prince in the palace, and set up a full feast of the Han Dynasty!" .”

She giggled.

Sorry, guess right.

Father Xu was categorical: "Just dry tofu, if there is too much, don't do it!"

"Success, success, please pour more toppings..."

There was a dim yellow light in the shop, she stood by the roadside waving, her almond eyes curved.

"Brother Mu, come quickly."

On a small table with mottled wood grain, there are two steaming large bowls, a handful of thin noodles soaked in the soup, with refreshing minced winter bamboo shoots and minced meat, sprinkled with a layer of chopped green onion, the color is bright and full of aroma .

She handed over a pair of clean bamboo chopsticks and urged, "Try."

Without moving his chopsticks, he took a spoonful of the soup first.

Rich and salty, really good.

Youyou raised her eyes, only to see that the little girl across from her had already picked out a chopstick of noodles, puffing her cheeks and whistling, and when it cooled down, she hurriedly sucked it up, her lips were covered with a layer of soup, moist and even more moist. bright red.

She ate quickly, but she didn't look rude at all. It just made people watching that the food seemed more delicious.

At this time, the old man walked out unsteadily, put down the small dish, and explained:

"Remember to close the door."

"Okay." She responded obediently.

Father Xu yawned and went back to the backyard, only the two of them and a small oil lamp were left in the shop.

She took a bite of dried tofu and sighed contentedly: "It's been nine years, and it's always tasted this way."

"Madam Ruan brought you here?" He was a little surprised.

Shaking her head, she replied softly, "It's mother."

He immediately understood that he was referring to Mrs. Yun Langjiang, her biological mother.

Poking the dried tofu, she slowly said: "Don't look like you are very favored in the Hou's mansion, in fact, it is not very pleasing, at least... the mother in my memory always treats me coldly, the one who impressed me the most Once, when I was about three years old, the road was slippery in the snow, and I fell hard when I went out. The cotton trousers were torn, and blood oozes from my knees. , didn't move, that look, as if looking at a stranger..."

"In the end, it was the nanny who picked me up and kept saying, 'Don't cry, baby, it won't look good if you cry, everyone likes a child who smiles'..." Rubbing the tip of her nose, she raised the corners of her lips, "Of course, Daddy loves me very much, but it's a pity that I don't see him very often throughout the year."

"One day, the nanny changed me into a white shirt and told me to kowtow more later, because my father will stay at home forever and will not leave. I am very happy, and I still don't understand the meaning of death."

"Later, my mother was ill, and she was bedridden every day, and her bones were broken. But on my fifth birthday, I got up early in the morning, dressed up, and my complexion recovered by [-]% to [-]%. She led me here and ordered A bowl of noodles and some side dishes." A yearning look appeared on the small face, "She smiled very gently, and even brought me some dishes..."

"But... in the end, I couldn't survive that winter."

He listened quietly, his eyes dim.

"So, as long as I miss them, I will come and have a seat." She quickly adjusted her mood, regained her joy, pushed his porcelain bowl forward, and said briskly, "This longevity noodles, there is a mother taste."

Never mentioned the past to everyone in the Hou Mansion.

Adopted children grow up overnight.

At first, I was afraid that if I said it, it would cause everyone's dislike, thinking that it was an unfamiliar one.

Later, I couldn't speak anymore.

Xuanwuhou Mansion is her second home.

I only want to bring joy to my family, and I can bury this bit of bitterness in my heart alone.

　So what is the first kiss, don't worry~~ hurry up~
